transparent, as in L. pellucida, but differs in being a little shorter, 
broader, with the spire lower, the apex less elevated, and the suture 
less impressed. The last whorl is move ventricose, and the outer lip 
and aperture are more broadly rounded. In alcohol, a specimen is 
1 gmm long; breadth, I2 mm ; height, 10 mm . 
Pai’t of the differences in the soft parts may be due to variations in 
the amount of contraction. Both forms occur together, and some 
specimens are intermediate.

Two living specimens were obtained, in 1881, which appear to 
belong to this species. They are more delicate and have somewhat 
finer and more regular radiating ribs than the ordinary European 
form. It had not been recorded before from our coast.
